    Should I get a better CPU?

    Best approach is to make sure your bios is up to date then if it supports the 2000 series pick up the Ryzen 2600 or 2700. You sort of specificed your motherboard but not the entire name. If you go to their site you can find out what they support from...

    An Early Preview Of 'Pillars Of Eternity II: Deadfire,' Hands On

    Kicker to me has always been the lack of coop. Games like that are made to be shared and enjoyed with a friend. That's why I've got 200 hours in Divinity 2 already.

    No, Coffee Lake Will Not Run In Z270 Motherboards (And Here’s Why)

    Best Games With The Most Playable Hours

    Heh, Not a list for me. Xcom I'll get 30 to 40 hours out of. I'm almost 1800 hours into ARK Survival Evolved. My kids spend that much time on Minecraft.

    All Eyes On Graphics Card Shortage, Few Answers Forthcoming

    I don't get it. My GTX 1060 is barely profitable using nicehash. Why would people be buying them up in hordes for what may not even see an RoI, ever.

    Biostar Reveals Mining-Focused Radeon RX 470D Graphics Card

    A bit late to the party. The rush on mining and drop in coin prices mean lots of people aren't ever going to achieve cost parity without being able to sell their old cards.

    So I'm using an Alienware 15 with a GTX980 (Optimus) and I've connected an external monitor into the HDMI port to attempt to extend. While it works for desktop based things, since my intergrated monitor is seen and "claimed" by the Intel gpu, the nvidia does not see it. The Nvidia however has...

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands Performance Review

    I have to agree. I enjoyed seeing the use of an I5 since I'm still using my 3570k @ 4.2Ghz. In fact I have the GTX 1060 to go with it so this becomes even more relevant of a review to me. It's also very close in performance I can expect from my 3 alienware laptops. with GTX 1060's.
